Gov Sule presents N156.6 billion supplementary budget to Nasarawa assembly
Governor Abdullahi Sule on Tuesday submitted a N156.5 billion supplementary appropriation bill for 2024 fiscal year to the Nasarawa State House of Assembly for approval.
Danladi Jatau, the speaker of the House, announced this during plenary in Lafia, Nasarawa State capital.
He said the supplementary appropriation bill would enable the state government to provide the much-needed dividends of democracy to the people.
Suleiman Azara, the House majority leader, moved a motion for the bill to scale first reading, which was seconded by the deputy minority leader, Onarigu Kana.
The assembly read the bill and unanimously passed it through the first reading.
In December 2023, the House approved a N199.8 billion budget for the 2024 fiscal year.
The supplementary appropriation bill, if approved, would take the Nasarawa State government’s 2024 budget to N356.5 billion.
